Oh the ironing for Israel to attack Iran for assassinating its citizens, with zero proof, no doubt. Stop carrying out the terror attacks that Israelis have been a victim of and I will take Israel of my Hypocrisy Watch.

Israelis attacked in India and Georgia

By Tobias Buck in Jerusalem and James Lamont in New Delhi

Benjamin Netanyahu blamed Iran for two car bomb attacks on Israeli embassy staff in India and Georgia on Monday, denouncing the regime in Tehran as the “largest exporter of terrorism in the world”.

Israel’s prime minister spoke hours after a diplomatic car carrying the wife of the Israeli defence attaché was attacked close to the compound housing the Indian prime minister’s residence in New Delhi.

A second bomb was found in an Israeli embassy car in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia. It was discovered by a local employee and defused by police before it could explode.

Officials said the Delhi blast occurred after an assailant riding a motorcycle attached a device to the rear of the car before speeding away. The Israeli woman was injured by shrapnel and taken to hospital for emergency treatment. She was on her way to pick up children from the American Embassy School in the diplomatic enclave of Chanakyapuri.

The Delhi attack took place in a highly secure area close to the Indian premier’s residence and the capital’s diplomatic zone. It was close to the office of Rahul Gandhi, a senior Congress party leader, and the homes of senior government officials.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for either incident, but the attacks occurred a day after the anniversary of the death of Imad Mughniyeh, a senior leader of the Lebanese Hizbollah movement who was assassinated on February 12 2008. The Hizbollah movement blamed the killing on Israel, and has repeatedly threatened to avenge his death.

In his statement, Mr Netanyahu accused Iran and Hizbollah of orchestrating a campaign of violence around the world. “In recent months we have witnessed several attempts to attack Israeli citizens and Jews in several countries, including Azerbaijan, Thailand and others,” he said.

“In each instance, we succeeded in foiling the attacks in co-operation with local authorities. Iran and its proxy Hizbollah were behind all of these attempted attacks. Today we have witnessed two additional attempted terrorist attacks on innocent civilians.”

Israel’s prime minister vowed to take “strong and systematic, yet patient” action against Iran.

Israel habitually places its foreign missions on high alert around the time of the anniversary of Mughniyeh’s assassination. In recent weeks, however, Israeli officials have sounded additional warnings about possible Iranian-led attacks on Israeli and Jewish sites outside the country.

The heightened concerns are linked to Iranian accusations that Israel is engaged in a covert war to destabilise the country’s nuclear programme. Israel suspects that Iran is keen to strike back at Israel after a recent series of mishaps, deaths and explosions rocked Iran’s nuclear programme.

While Israeli officials refuse to confirm any Israeli involvement in these incidents, Iran itself has blamed Israel.

A God? WTF? God not found here and this is not a troll thread. Stay on topic, please. This thread is about Israel accusing Iran, with zero proof, of attacking its diplomats while Israel stands accused of attacking Iranian nuclear engineers. Again, stay on topic.

Yes oh the hypocrisy -- Iran accusing Israel of offing one of their nuclear scientists!! Did I say and with no proof????

I am staying on topic -- you are the one who opened this up to Iran accusing Israel.....

It has been aknowledged by an israeli military , -- um no! Not accourding to this article....
somewhat involuntarly of course..more speculation...no proof is no proof and un named sources don`t count as proof....

Ummm actually no...it is all based on speculation..read the aritcle....

I see no confiormation by official sources....

An un named Israeli source is hardly proof.....
Where in the article does it say THE ISRAELI MILITARY??? was responsible -- oh I get it the un named source...

The Sunday Times quoted an unnamed Israeli sources who claimed that the killing was a precursor to a military strike, which would make rebuilding nuclear facilities more difficult for Iran, should they be bombed.

The report further claimed that small groups of Israeli Mossad agents had carefully observed key areas in Tehran deemed relevant to the Roshan’ assassination.
 
Israel has nurtured the enmity of many- blaming the Iranians seems a little thin. Perhaps the Netanyahu govt is projecting their own methodology onto Iran.

It's a nice distraction from their own agenda, and they'll exploit any of those they can find.

Israelis have been victims of terror attacks. Now their government is doing the same to Iranian citizens...

Not to excuse the attacks on Iranian scientists if done by Mossad.

Generic civilians including women and children vs those working on the war effort. There is a small distinction there.

So, uhh, you're claiming that a state of war exists? And that Iran's nuclear efforts are demonstrably geared towards weapons production? Really?

What war effort? What difference does that even make? Don't be a shill. They are all working for the government and that means they are all fair-game. Also, those bombings in Iran have killed many Iranian civilians.

1) Yes a state of war exists between Israel and Iran (via it's proxies)

2) I can not definitely state that Iran's nuclear efforts are geared toward weapons. I can say that based on Iranian leadership statements and actions that there is a excellent possibility that such is happening.

Syria threw a fit when they were attacked until their false statements on nuclear efforts were exposed.
Iraq, the same.

Both times Israel was proved correct although the targets claimed otherwise.

Should Israel go after Iranian facilities; I would expect that they will also have proof of Iranian activities. They know that having the evidence provides them with a much stronger case to take on the naysayers.

Same with foreign tourists.

Iran is quite likely making nuclear weapons. Israel most likely cannot stop this from happening. This policy of attacking Iran (were they to do so) would be hopelessly shortsighted.

Netanyahu's government is a foreign policy disaster. Hopefully the Israeli people are smart enough to toss him out in the next elections.

What other options does Israel have if they are correct on Iran's intentions.

The two other countries having reactors and hostile attitudes toward Israel were proved accurate.

Both attacked Israel prior to the attacks on the reactor and Iraq also attack Israel just because 20 years later out of spite to try and generate a response.

You have Iran attacking Israel for the past 30+ years via proxies with increasingly more potent weaponry. Israel should sit back and take it? And allow for the potential of Iran carrying out its threat of total destruction. At this point, words have not stopped Iran from making its threats.

Iranian leadership rightly believes that the world will not attack. They believe that Israel will not do anything spectacular, being on the US leash. therefore, Iran can threaten all they want, utilize the proxies as seen fit and continue to move forward on nuclear technology with no serious consequences.

Even North Korea and Pakistan do not use advocate the complete destruction of their opponents. they have nuclear weaponry (how good??) Iran's leadership desires such weaponry and also advocates the destruction of Israel.

Israel has no choice but to gamble and stop/delay the Iranian program because no one else again will step up to the plate.

Same here - criticism of the government does not have to equate.

Notice on my comments, I separate the people/country from the leadership

Iran's actual leadership does not advocate the destruction of Israel, nor do they act in such a manner. Israel and Iran are strategic enemies. I understand that Israel doesn't want such an enemy to acquire nuclear weapons, but it seems pretty clear that such a thing is inevitable. With Syria and Iraq, Israel was able to inflict great damage on their nuclear ambitions at very small cost. I do not believe that such a calculation holds up here.

With that in mind, will this strike provide benefits to Israel's position vis a vis Iran that are greater than the escalation in activity? I believe the answer to this is no, as does the former head of Mossad. Netanyahu may believe otherwise, but I believe that such a continuing reliance on these strikes will greatly harm Israel. Netanyahu's government appears to be strategically incompetent.

There is no distinction to me. They're both civilians, working civilian jobs, not under military orders. You can't equate a nuclear scientist to mad "scientists" of Nazi Germany or any other country IMO.
